Life is scary sometimes, isn’t it? It’s rocky. If you think that you are alone, it’s even scarier. The Bondage (torment) of fear is a powerful human emotion that came into the world, when sin came into the world. Sometimes you look out in front of you, and you can barely see. Sometimes, you have chains so heavy, chains of bondage, that almost have you laid flat on the ground. The way looks rocky, and the bondage of fear just grips you. You’re afraid. You don’t know what comes next. That’s what an eating disorder, an idol does. It taught me that there is bondage, but it also taught me that there is ultimate, freedom from that bondage, when you come to realize the truth, the truth about who you are and why you were made, WHO made you, and WHO saves you.

This is my favorite thought that has been going through my mind this week, and I wanted to share that there is FREEDOM. There is not just life-long bondage. There is freedom, and thank you Heather for the link-up to share these Friday thoughts. <3

Comparison is A THIEF. It’s a thief that starts to steal my Christ (not self) confidence if I let myself start comparing my diet to another’s in the WIAW link-up or in daily life instead of enjoying looking at other people’s eats and encouraging them in their journey. I love the WIAW link-up, and why would I want to be jealous of other people’s eats? Well, jealousy comes in, and it’s a thief that makes me wish I had something that I don’t. In the end, it makes me miserable.

Thank you to Laura, Jenn, and Arman for faithfully hosting or hostessing this link-up. It has always been one of my favorites!

Well, Monday didn’t quite go how I planned, but I’m really thankful for that because of the lesson I learned and the victory I won through Christ who strengthened me today.

This verse has and does ring true at so many points in my life. Proverbs 16:9, ‘A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.’ It’s true, and the plans that He has for His children are always ones for good and not for evil.
